Van"s original RV 10 door struts (C-1016) as you all know are about
worthless. An excellent, much stronger, cushioned stop, gas-spring
strut to replace them is Bansbauch EasyLift (store.easylift.com), part #
B0B0F50-100-247-600N (SKU: 1AF041-006. Do NOT order part #
A1A1F50-100-287-600N which is readily available by part # on line. They
are too short. You will also have to order Hinge Ends (B1 M8) for the
B0B0F50 strut (2 per strut) to make them the right length. You will have
to call Bansbauch 800-225-4496 or 321-253-1999 to get a price on the
B0B0F50 strut as it is not printed automatically on their web site.
Talk to Danny Jackson and he will email (send) you the price. The Ends'
price is listed on the web site. As of today,$40.94 for the strut and
$4.40 each End. Sure beats Van's $41.89 for C-1016 strut and $140.69
for the Heavy Duty C-1016HD strut. Carroll Verhage #41087 and #41862
